Final Vote On Tolls Repeal BiU To night. New York, June 11. The final vote on the tolls repeal biU will take place tonight. The leaders are pleased with the progress made. Senator Brandied has a long set speeeh which may de lay the vote some. ical party oppose", such a law, the Anti-Saloon league will ujm? iti in fluence to get some other candidate ti come out who will favor the law. After the .nomination of candidates by the resective party primaric aud conventions, if the .nominees of .til the parties in any county favor tl-h law, the question i$ eliminated; if some favor and others oppose, the Anti-Saloon League will give this in formation to the people of every c .uni ty or Senatorial district, and will u.e its influence to get the citizens of that county or Senatorial district to sm ixrt the nominee or nominees who favor our legislation. In this wav Xiss question will be put fairly and square ly- before the pe.p: ot Noith Carolina to decide whether they want this leg islation or not. By this time it ought to bo known that the Anti-Saloon League is neith er a coward nor a quitter, and for this battle she has already donned the war paint. Not that she prefers war to peace, but because she knows there can be no peace until the liquor traf fic and its sponsors are destroyed, the Anti-Saloon League has always been loyal. enough to favor its friends and brave enough to fight its enemies, and we lfere and now give notice to any who will opjHjse the above re ferred to legislation that the Anti Saloon League will be on the battle field to oppose their nomination and election. If the people are with us, we will iwn. If they are against u. we ought not to win. In the resolutions adopted by the executive committee of the ' North Carolina Anti-Saloon League on Jan uary 29th, we read this language: 'We instruct our superintendent to so organize the State and carry this campaign into all the counties as that we shall be assured of the passage of this measure by the next General Assembly." These instructions will be carried out to the letter, and for the purpose of this campaign there will be in even county in the State a working committee, and through this committee the State organization will keep in touch with every local situation and advie tie people fully concerning their candidates. This committee will be in fact as well as name a working committee for that county. ' Our judgment is that there' is a demand for a law to prohibit the de livery of liquor for beverage purpoeg from one end of the State to the oth er, and we are ready to follow our judgment bv submitting this to the people.
